Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 04/10/2026remember when we were screaming at big studios to fight back against the plagiarism machine and protect IP/copywrite yeah maybe they should have actually done someth about that because jesus its getting bad 0191
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yes I agree, they amped up the amount of combat encounters and ways to deal with them but still kept quite a bit of the essence. I think keeping the tank controls and stationary aiming helped in that regard. 040
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Its such a shame he was given the impression the controls are 'poor' when in reality you can see how much intention went into everything about their design. 111
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026yesss very much agree and one of the reasons I enjoy replaying the PS1 TR games so much 150
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Here, a perfect example of what I mean from today's run of RE2 Claire B. Notice how zombie placement, reaction speed, turn speed and movement speed are all dialed in to match the player's traversal limitations. There's incredible depth here that did not happen by accident. 413756
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just because something is easier to pickup from the start does not mean it is the better choice for more engaging gameplay. 1440
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026These days precision platformers, metroidvanias and soulslikes are all incredibly popular *because* they put friction in front of core gameplay systems & reward careful, intentional placement when moving the player and choosing to attack. RE had all of this and it was taken away. 1456
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026there was so much gameplay depth to the movement in the original 3 Resident Evil games due to their finely tuned and balanced implementation of tank controls and the industry just collectively turned their backs on it in favor of 'push stick go direction, turn on a dime'. 3689

If I were to recommend some nice, spoopy indies, I'd also have to go with @adinolfi.bsky.social's Heartworm, @robertoserrag.bsky.social's Post Trauma, @deadformat.com and @headwaregames.bsky.social's Hollow Body. 4304
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026ty buddy, it's been a much needed breather/mental health reset having some runway on this project. Pretty confident it will show in the end result :) 040
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yes it's been a lot of fun, even moreso now I've got most of the core gameplay systems coded 😆 030
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 28/09/2026all these huge budget, big team, shiny survival horror games coming out. Meanwhile im just chipping away at my lil passion project doing the same shit as Chasing Static/Hollowbody just with a lot more intention and way less rushed cus im not about to go broke this time 🫡 6510

Reposted by NathWatchDaToast @watchdatoast.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Everytime you encounter a sharp corner like this, you can bet that the game is loading in some new level segments juuuust outside your view. Super obvious stuff, but I enjoy the ✨r e t r o✨ aspect of it 520426
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Cheers pal, I got the look I wanted in the end through some trial and error and trying various different settings 110
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 05/07/2026the one time I don't bombard you with questions on discord right away and you got the answer 😆🙌 000
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 04/07/2026basically I want to render a very specific crunchy pixel size, somewhere around 720 on the Y axis. I'm testing atm finding the monitor's closest supported resolution to that and using 'Set Screen Resolution' node but not sure if this is the recommended approach? 140
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 04/07/2026UE folks! what is the best practice for forcing the game to run at a specific resolution? I've tried a postprocess material (bad for performance I presume), I've tried ScreenPercentage (bad because its relative to screen resolution). currently testing 'set screen resolution' 281

Reposted by NathDorian Dawes @doriandawes.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Hey so if you haven't played Hollowbody yet I am demanding you do so. In terms of narrative this is one of the best of the modern wave of indie survival horror games. Just lets you wallow in the horror of government abandonment in the face of an epidemic. 2234

Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Hollowbody will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in like... 1 hour and 11 minutes if ur reading this as I am typing it which is unlikely because i'm typing this really slowly so its probably more like 1 hour and 10 minutes now, also I haven't pressed post yet 0402
Nath @headwaregames.bsky.social · 03/06/2026very curious to see how close Townfall gets to Chasing Static, quite a few people have mentioned the similarities to me now 🙃 2472
